Likewise, any previously published scenario can't be trusted to reproduce the experience of someone performing a search for the first time. That's also why participants are trusted to post their first result, and why I should have excluded anyone who had already researched the target individual.<BR/><BR/>Any additional details will have to wait until after the test concludes, as they may skew the results of those that still plan to participate.<BR/><BR/>Don't worry; the test is not moot. I've already received an entry via email. It is for old, exact search and it is VERY impressive. Any New Search advocates out there? You'll have to step up if you're going to answer the challenge.<BR/><BR/>But you've peaked my interest. What do you know about Ancestry.com's post-New Years plans?

Why didn't you test drive some of those? Some of them are just as simple as the one you propose.Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.com
